You definitely should have so many more subscribers. You give great, unbiased reviews. Right on point for the user. Even the music is great! And not to forget: you are a great guy (at least in front of the camera, but I suspect in the rest of your life too).
@rantsabouttechnology you're right. I don't reveal specific information about myself, but one of the reasons why I felt the "WE" part of your comment is because I look just like you. If I ever had a channel, I would approach building my channel just like the way you are doing. You are very meticulous on how you want your videos to be presented and consumed, and it's awesome!! You have all the tools to grow this channel as your counterparts, and I have no doubt that you will get there!!
I’m really digging the rose gold color now that you point it out. It’s like reMarkable is just embracing the fact that the display has a yellowish tint (my guess is that the yellow particles are layered underneath the white particles) and trying to blend the hardware as much as possible with the gallery 3 screen. Although the contrast isn’t as good as the Go10.3, it’s still superior to the NA3C, and I feel like the rose gold is helping improve the contrast by tricking our eyes
Yea that rose gold was a shocker, was expecting aluminum gray, lol. I'm getting used to it. and yea the screen is lighter than the NA3C but not by much. Glad you're enjoying it. Do you use it the same way you used the rM2?
@@rantsabouttechnology I’m new to reMarkable, so i can’t speak to that comparison specifically. To me, the contrast on rMPP is enough that I don’t have to use the front light during the day with natural lighting, whereas the NA3C I found myself using the front light way more
@@rantsabouttechnology Good to hear! I like it a lot. The main reasons why I am keeping it is 1.the writing feel, 2. The quality feel. 3. The option for leather folio. 4 The connect sync lets me work on my notes on my work pc. 5. The colors are growing on me, especially the highlighter. 6. The os is linux., already have custom sleep screen and syncing my outlook calendar. On Android I could never sync and write on my calendar. With time I hope for syncting app like on RM2. Linux gives me more options than locked Android.
Thanks! I've been told that I'll be receiving one of the A5X2's when they're announced. So I'll be around to dig into it and unearth all it's secrets... Muhahahahaha! :) Stay tuned and thx for stopping by!
Agreed! I wish I was more of a typer to A) Take advantage of those features. B) to make videos on it. They really are, not just good, but implemented smartly.
I got a Go 10.3 before I ordered a RPP. I thought I would return the Go 10.3 but after I received the RPP I decided to keep the Go. The Go is just way better when it comes to reading given its 300dpi and brighter, whiter screen. Moreover, the operating system on the Go is just better and snappier. The RPP feel laggy. Many times I pressed a button or do a gesture but the RPP does not respond.
that's very good to know. I am in the same boat. Got a Go 10.3 two days before the RMPP was announced. I was debating if I should send it back and get the RMPP but the OS is too limited for my needs. Simple things like using split screen I'd just miss. If they at some point add that or something like rmhacks will get a release for it then maayyyybe. I'm just hoping for a similar device from boox now, even though I have no clue if they will be able to dabble into the same technology as remarkable for color.
@@pogofun the Remarkable is not that remarkable after all. They have been on the market for quite a few years and their operating system still sucks. I mainly use the table for reading pdfs and the Remarkable does not deliver a enjoyable reading experience. If you are someone who relies on navigating the pdfs by using the table of contents, forget about the Remarkable. I am aware that people have some work-arounds with tags but why should we? Moreover, the RPP is a big device, so when you look at the toolbar you will see how empty it is. Too bad you cannot customize the toolbar. Seriously?
@cisp360 Yea the rMPP isn't the nappiest, and the color bogs it down even more. Sacrifices for color were made for sure. The hardware design and implementation is on point though. Just needs better software and more power... Okay another device is needed all together. Thankfully they have room for a reMarkable Paper (no light or color and thinner). That's my prediction.
@@cisp360 they push their "distraction free" approach way too hard imho. If you want to do anything outside the small borders they set up it get extremely distracting to do anything. At this point a lot of simple tasks seem like a big hassle to get done on the remarkable OS. I don't want to be working around the OS 80% of the time. I mean just give is a "simple mode" and "pro mode" and let us choose.
Ah, lived up to expectations my friend. I was looking forward to your take, and you highlight many of the things I was concerned about. I am curious to see how the hardware holds up to trying to refresh that Gallery 3 screen. I am also very interested to see a head to head comparison from you between the USI active pen and Wacom. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank man!🙏🏾 So many tests. Haven't slept in a couple days, and running on adrenaline alone, but it's so fun! Did you know that whiteboards are magnetic?🤔😂
To me the biggest upgrade is having the light. That's major. Writing in the dark is great. But I'm having a hard time acclimating to this glass screen. It's textured, far more than the rM2, but it's slippery and I don't know if I can get used to this. I'd be settling because of how great it is to have the light. If the rM2 had a front light, I'd be fine. That screen/marker combo is a great writing experience. More resistance. All that to say, I'm looking for one of those screen covers that add some drag to the writing experience. I miss being able to write lightly without slipping. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately I haven't done any research in the area of screen protectors from writing. The light is major though and definitely a reason to upgrade imo, thx.
@RichCinema I don't think they have a plan to mature the software. I just think they plan on refining it, as if they feel it's all anyone needs. I bet they "internally" could use more tools. Why not just add them? Simplicity will always be the answer. For better or worse.
@@rantsabouttechnology I received my pro yesterday and returned it today. It wasn’t worth the price tag. No bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard. Limited templates, software is way to basic. I have a Boox Go 10 and Supernote Nomad. I will do fine with returning it as I have other devices that are cheaper and have more features.
there will be referbs in about 100 days when people return them, I love the new pro for notes and PDF's no other device really comes close to those 2 uses
I’m not sure that epilepsy screen flashing can be over looked for most of us. Do you think it’s a software decision that can be changed with a update? Or is it baked into the device for good?
I think it's a limitation of the screen's hardware which unfortunately can't be recitified with a software update. The technology just has to get better. The problem is, the tech will be alot better sooner than the lifespan of this device, which means they'll be making an upgraded one within two years. That's my prediction. Thanks for the comment.
So you really don't get what the flap on the folio is for? It solves a very big problem people had with the RM2. People were losing their marker all the time. The flap isn't just there to close the folio, it's there primarily to prevent the marker from coming of when you attach it to the side. And that explains the specific spot for the magnet you noticed, because with the marker on the side, the spot is... Well spot on...
Agreed, and I mentioned how it had to be in that spot, shortly after I noticed the spot for the magnet. I also praised them for their unique implementation of the strap. So, yea, very nice case and idea for hiding the pen strap. Thanks for stopping by.
These tablets aren't ready for drawing. They are ready for note taking. I still went with a Boox though, because I didn't want to have to buy a separate device for reading Amazon books. I also wanted a back light. The back light works great when note taking at dark tech conferences.
I didn't even know that stuff still existed. I used to always eat that when I was a kid, or at least chew it and sometimes eat it. Watching you eat it - I'm not exactly sure what to think. Do I want it or not? I'm not sure. It makes me hungry but at the same time it's not food.
@@rantsabouttechnology Yea that kinda sucks. I really do want the device because of the feeling and also helps with eye strain. I have a surface pro 11 which I always use for handwritten notes, but I am always looking at the screen which ends up hurting my eyes. I'll probably buy it since we do get a 100 day return period and test it for my notes.
yea, the return policy definitely make it worth trying. Don't get me wrong, it's good, just not the best imo. Stop back by after you get it and lemme know your thoughts. I like hearing different perspectives. Later✌🏾
Thank you for the great overview and unboxing. Have you by chance seen any videos of users having a high pitch sound when scrolling through PDFs? Is this something to be concerned about? I am new to the idea of carrying an e-ink tablet and would like to choose one of the best when I grab one. Thanks again.
Well, the rMPP isn't the best, let's just say that off the top. It's good though, and if you don't need more than note-taking, and basic PDF viewing, then you're good. I haven't heard any high-pitched sounds from my device and I use it in a pretty quiet environment. Hope this helps

When the software matures and the price drops I will probably get one in 2 or so years, refurbished.
The software has not matured at all and they don't seem to expand on features
